Transverse Cracking of 0/90/0 Crossply Laminates of PMR-15 Based Carbon Fibre Composites
Chapter
Abstract
Balanced 0/90/0 crossply laminates have been prepared from PMR-15 unidirectional prepreg using a novel “split laminate” technique. Transverse cracking has been studied in detail by acoustic emission, X-radiography and sensitive load measurements. Consistent values of first ply failure strain and the intrinsic transverse strength of the composite have been measured.
